The first of two semifinalists has been confirmed for Wendy's Kick for a Million. Paul Sinisi of Ajax, ON, took one step closer to kicking for $1 million as he emerged victorious from an intense Eastern Canada quarter-final event at Rogers Centre in Toronto earlier tonight.
Sinisi defeated Conway by a final score of 120 to zero to advance to the next round. Sinisi had three successful kicks from the 30 yard line for a total of 120 points, while Conway attempted field goals from the 25 and 30 yard line.
